Glazed Vanilla Sugar Crisps

By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 1 c. butter, softened
• 2-1/2 c. sugar, divided
• 2 eggs
• 1 T. vanilla extract
• 2-2/3 c. all-purpose flour
• 1 t. cream of tartar
• 1 t. baking soda
• 1 t. salt

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, blend together butter and 2 cups sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Stir in vanilla and set aside. In a separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients; mix well. Blend flour mixture into butter mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour. Form dough into one-inch balls; roll in remaining sugar. Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Fill a cup with water. Using a teaspoon, drizzle several drops of water onto each ball.


Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool on baking sheets 3 to 4 minutes; remove to wire racks.

Makes 6 dozen.
